Research and practice on narrowing the width of the diversion island at the Huai'an Hub
The Huaihe River to sea waterway is a seasonally significant flood diversion channel.During non-flood season,it facilitates the inspection and reinforcement of control projects,making the width of the diversion island unrestricted.The width of the diversion island at the Huai'an Hub,expanded during its reconstruction,directly impacts flood discharge,construction,the environment,and investment.To determine a scientifically reasonable width for the diversion island,this paper analyzes the relationships between the island width and factors such as engineering geological conditions,canal navigation requirements,equipment layout,construction arrangement,and the impact on adjacent structures.The study results indicate that narrowing the width of the diversion island reduces the area of construction enclosures,saves land and construction volume,and lowers project investment,demonstrating significant economic benefits.
